September Garden Spotlight

This month we are spotlighting one of our many garden spaces! The Kitchen Garden is tucked away along the front side of the Welcome Center and is home to a variety of edible goods. In a Moravian quilt pattern, this raised bed garden is at its height in the late spring and into the summer.

This year we planted corn, black and white pumpkins, baby bell peppers, 8-ball zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, potatoes and more! This corner of the garden is also home to two varieties of pomegranates and figs.

Paul J. Ciener’s memorial statue welcomes you into the Kitchen Garden where he is surrounded by strawberries. In continuing his mission to serve the community, we donate all produce to HOPE of Winston Salem. HOPE of Winston Salem’s mission is to improve health outcomes of children and their families by providing them access to healthy and nutrient rich foods through their food distribution programs.

This year, we have donated over 50lbs of fresh produce to HOPE of Winston Salem.
